Updated 18-Sep: Welcome to the Schriefer Blog, my name is Tavis Schriefer. Recently, my wife Jill and I raised money to supply driFIRE shirts to every soldier in Apache Company of the 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment. We were successful in raising over $6500 and we would like to thank everyone for all their support to make this happen. Please read our entire message here...

driFIRE Shirts - UPDATE

Here is another update on the contributions for the driFIRE shirts.

116 driFIRE shirts shipped to the 3rd Platoon of Apache Company, 1-501st PIR yesterday. With the latest count of soldiers in the 3rd Platoon, we were 20 shirts ($360) from completing our first goal. As of today, we have received enough contributions to order the remaining 20 shirts and supply every soldier of the third platoon with four driFIRE shirts each!!

Our success with this effort has pushed us to move to our next goal. We would like to supply driFIRE shirts to every soldier in Apache Company of the 1-501st Parachute Infantry Regiment.

We believe that everyones contributions will make a difference in these sholdiers lives, but this is just 32 soldiers of the 120 in Apache Company. All of these guys are fighting together and we can't, in good conscience, stop after just being able to help my son's Platoon.
